Based on transcriptions from a seminar held at Claymont Court, West Virginia, this is an experiential as well as theoretical exploration. Its frame of reference is taken from the ideas of G.I. Gurdjieff and J.G. Bennett. It explains the concept of three kinds of time and how they relate to life, dreams, progress and spirituality. And it includes exercises and discussions that bring the concepts into living experience. The text is enriched with remarkable drawings by Phyllis Peltz Bolton. Written in 1979, this book remains relevant as an exposition of Bennett's ideas on time.
Anthony George Edwar Blake Libri
George Blake fu un autore scozzese rinomato per i suoi romanzi che raffigurano la vita dei costruttori navali di Clydeside. La sua prosa è caratterizzata da una profonda comprensione della classe operaia e delle realtà della Scozia industriale. Spesso ancorava le sue narrazioni in ambientazioni autentiche, esplorando temi sociali con occhio attento. Le opere di Blake sono apprezzate per la loro rappresentazione autentica delle vite della gente comune.

Mysterious events start happening in the city of Canterbury in England, baffling the local police force. The authorities are confronted with a series of murders having no apparent motive and little in the way of clues. The victims are an eclectic mix of visitors to Canterbury Cathedral, seemingly strangers with no obvious connection. The police work on two theories, a fancy dress party going horribly wrong or tit-for-tat reprisals instigated by an international spy ring. A code book, 'Codex Antonius', plays a vital part in the story, yet this adds to the confusion as it is written in Latin.
Symbol enneagramu, který Gurdžijev poprvé popsal na přelomu 19. a 20. století, nepřestává fascinovat lidské myšlení už po mnoho generací. Je mistrovským dílem symbolického umění. Anthony George Edward Blake, fyzik a historik vědy, který spolu s Johnem Bennettem studoval Gurdžijevovo učení, v této průkopnické práci přesahující popularizační práce o enneagramu coby typologii osobností ukazuje, jak pomocí symbolu enneagramu můžeme zkoumat evoluci jakéhokoli procesu. Blake dokládá, jak enneagram prohloubuje naši intuici a zlepšuje schopnost vidět věci holisticky a nacházet spojnice mezi různými oblastmi lidského poznání a zkušenosti. Poté co důkladně rozebral základní ideje spjaté s tímto symbolem, zabývá se jeho možnostmi z trojího hlediska hmoty, energie a informace a ukazuje jeho praktické využití od vaření až po sexuální vztahy, od kosmologie až k výkladu modlitby Páně. Vydáno ve spolupráci s Klubem G.I. Gurdžijeva v Praze.
